Thank you all who came to the stream!
Posted 8 years agoThank you to everyone that came and especially those that purchased during my three day stream burst! Have just one to finish up, and then everything at least from stream is complete. Thank you for making it possible for me to be able to purchase some prints to sell at Anthrocon! Planning to do some limited edition test prints, perhaps even one with Waffles that I will be signing at Anthrocon! Hope some of you come by and see me!
Until then! I'll be a bit tied up with prep but will still try and get everything out and uploaded in the next two days!
in the meantime be sure and check out my online site and store! http://shottsyarts.com
and also sign up for my mailing list!

You are NOT at all expected or obligated and don't feel bad if you can't, but if any of you want to throw some "tips" or donations my way you can always do so by sending it to my paypal at: shottsy85[at]gmail.com
Livestream Special Info Below! Please familiarize yourself with my rules before commissioning. All art will be submitted to my gallery, and all patrons will receive a full rez full scale copy of their purchase.RULES:
-Livestream Commissions are done on a first come first serve basis, unless you have scheduled a specific time with me.
-I will be finishing your piece during the session so you MUST be there if you wish to purchase one of my special stream commissions.
-If for any reason you must step away during the stream once you have purchased a slot, please let me know you are stepping away and when you will be back, so I don't waste any time and can skip down to the next person in line.
-If you are not there when it is your turn and there is no one else to skip ahead to, I will be going ahead with your commission, and there will be NO tweaks or fixes, or edits unless you wish to pay an additional fee. My goal is to finish all commissioned art within a single session so each new stream starts new art and new pay. This is my job so I apologize if that sounds harsh, but time is money, and I need this to run smooth.
-When you ask for a slot in stream please send me only one note and include the following:
- What you are buying: Sketch, Linework, Flat, TF sequence?
- If TF sequence How many pages?
- Anthro or Feral Character?
-What is the Content? WG or regular?
If you are a returning client just have any new elements referenced for me if you want something to be specific like a prop or animal species.
- *** NEW CLIENTS:
1. have your 'sona or character references sent,
2. your email address you wish to use for me to send you your invoice. (If you have a different email from the one you pay on that you wish to receive your art at, send that as well. )
If your piece isn't finished during the session it will be completed at the beginning of the next session. (if it spills over into a second session you may work out with me a special time for me to stream when you can attend again, and you will be first priority in next stream you are at.) LIVESTREAM SPECIAL PRICES You may recommission any past project we have worked on to "update" or add. EXP: If you have commissioned a sketch, you can recommission me at a later date to finish the piece into flatwork. You will be discounted the price of what you have already paid for the sketch.NOTE: Livestream Special prices are cheaper than my off stream commissions. They are meant to be quicker and done within a session so expect your sketches to be looser and rougher. I don't do shading generally for livestream pieces, and the art will be more simplistic. Loose sketches-(Single Character Toony or Realistic)-[color=green]10.00(Additional Characters or props 5-10.00 extra depending)
EXAMPLE Cleaned refined sketches -15.00 to 20.00 (Additional characters or props will be extra fees depending. Discuss for quote)
EXAMPLELinework-(one character)25.00 - 30.00
EXAMPLE
[center]Flat Color-(one character)35.00
(15.00per extra character)EXAMPLE
Flat Color-REALISTIC(one character)50.00-65.00(25.00-35.00per extra character)EXAMPLE
TF sequence sketches-15.00per page. (Will do a 5 page spread: includes 4 pages of transformation and final "tada" final form sketch on page 5) for 50.00)EXAMPLE
TF sequence FLAT COLOR-50.00per page.**NOTE: Final "TADA" flat color single char pic at the end of the sequence is just 35.00 as other flats, if requested.EXAMPLE
****DISCLAIMER: If you don't have any references and want me to "make up the character (not in every case, up to my discretion) be prepared to pay a bit more than the people who already have characters and references. Also be prepared to pay a bit extra if you request something overly complicated and specific that I am not used to drawing with added elements, such as specific kinds of clothing, or weapons etc. Prices will be discussed prior to your invoice being sent out for approval. All commissions must be paid right then and there in the stream up front before your piece can be started. Please have all funds available for paypal payments ready so as not to hold up the flow of the stream and other patrons. If your piece is not finished within the stream it is commissioned you are first priority in the next stream to which you are available. Thanks all,
I look forward to seeing you all.

Livestreaming again tomorrow Thursday at 7PM Eastern
Posted 8 years agoHey everyone. Thank you to those that came tonight! I am resuming again tomorrow, Thursday the 22nd at 7pm Eastern! My plan is to go to midnight unless the night is slow in which case I will end early. If you plan to purchase a commission please do so at the beginning of the stream so I can just draw the rest of the time! My que for tomorrow is completely open!
I need to make some fast funds to afford printing my new art for Anthrocon, as well as the gas to get there and hotel. (Not to mention we have to afford rent... still have no roommate...)
I won't be streaming again regularly for a bit until I can catch up with some of my backlog, so this is your chance to get some awesome art from me!
If you will want to get a TF I will be willing to do 2 tomorrow but only if you get their around when I start to purchase it, as I get burned out as I get tired and want to do your TF justice! All of my pricing and info is below as usual!
I am taking commissions! May open up for some anthro again later on in the week or next week but for now to save time because I am exhausted I am only doing ferals again or turning your anthro characters into ferals.
Info and pricing below:

Update and Mailing List
Posted 8 years agoHello all!
I am still working hard to pay bills and figure things out. We are still struggling so every ounce of support we get is a huge help! My next month's rent is coming up as well as other bills. Malvir and I are both working now in addition to running our business. My online shop is now live!
Don't miss out on saving 10% on your first purchase! You can get all sorts of awesome apparel, as well as vintage toys by yours truly! Check it out at http://shottsyarts.com
You can also get my limited edition advance reader copies of my novel while supplies last on there! They full versions will be out hopefully by next year as I am currently re-writing and adding a LOT of content, but still worth a read as is! Find out more about that here: http://www.shottsyarts.com/novel/
I will also be selling them and other things at Anthrocon this year! So if you are there be sure and stop by! May even have one or two take home slots for commissions for early buyers.
ALSO for all of those that have purchased from me in the past I will be starting up a mailing list that will update you on what shows we will be at, exclusive offers from my store, upcoming products, and even perhaps some exclusive info on livestreams and information about my patreon! You will have the option to opt out but I hope you guys will enjoy getting some more updates from me! It is just so hard to manage so many online media platforms so I am going to start trying the email blasts. Hope you are all well! I will be livestreaming again most likely next week so keep your eyes out for times!

Got bronchitis livestream postponed times and Info below
Posted 8 years agoI still need to come up with money right away but all the stress seems to have triggered bronchitis. I'm pushing through it as much as I can and trying not to need to miss work as I can't afford to. Going to rest tonight and see how I feel. Will try to resume streaming around 7 or 8 tomorrow but may only do easier relaxing single feral character commissions but up to cell shading is fine! I am also willing to do feral fan art like balto, all dogs go to heaven, land before time, and whatever else.
I'm still going to be productive on the website. I have things up for sale now if you want to see! We are having a 10% off sale for your first purchase just type SPRINGLAUNCH2017 at checkout! http://Shottsyarts.com
Original info below:
Need to make money quickly for some impending bills! We have had an onslaught of bad luck but I just keep going back to the grind hoping to get out back on top. If you want to know more about what is going on you can read my previous journal here: https://www.furaffinity.net/control.....nal/1/8214391/

Further Update: I really thought it would work out this time
Posted 8 years agoWe have had such a tough year, but I just keep trying to push through.
I personally just feel so frustrated and don't understand where honesty and integrity has gone in the world. This does not include some of the few amazing wonderful people and patrons that have kept us going all this time!
So, we got an extension from our kind and understanding landlords, because we thought we FINALLY found the ONE! The one roommate who would come through with things and not bail. He liked us so much he signed the lease after we met him, and told us he'd be moving in the following month, (this month), but couldn't do it until the fifth. We had our landlord run a background check and everything was cleared. So, I had been in touch with him the week prior just to touch base and make sure everything was good. He said it was, although he may be moving in Sunday, instead of Friday the 5th, as was signed and agreed upon. I said that's fine, you can move your stuff in whenever you want, but you still need to come and at least pay your check on Friday, as that was the date agreed on in the lease; and we have already worked it out with the landlord. He said he could do that, but it would have to be after he got off work after 6. I asked if he could at least stop by earlier, briefly, as that doesn't allow us to get to the bank before it closes for the weekend. He didn't respond. Then no response the rest of the evening. Six rolls around and still nothing, then 7,8, then 9. Tried again yesterday to ask what was going on, and if he is even still moving in? No response. I have left two voicemail's, an email and a slew of texts with no response. Dammit. What is WRONG with people??
We remembered our landlord just days prior gave us the number of someone looking for a roommate so we called THEM and they seemed great we were ready to show the house to THEM (they were our only hope and backup) and then they said that they are taking this other place they were waiting to hear from.
SO our landlord is being super understanding. We are meeting with a person and their roommate today (it may be a bit cramped but at this point we are desperate and don't care) But the problem is they IF they even agree and decide will only be able to do payments for the first month. SO we are going to try and make that work, but
(btw if you are with me so far you are an incredible person and I appreciate you actually caring enough to read this.)
SO on top of all that roommate fiasco, a horrible last convention where we got screwed twice, and lost money, on top of EVERYTHING with not being able to pay rent, I have two credit card payments to make that are almost 100.00 each because I have had to near max them out and one has a high interest rate, AND now here is the kicker. After trying to get information for months, we FINALLY just NOW at the worst possible time got hit with our invoice for our biggest and most financially lucrative show of the year, "Bronycon"
AND who needs food anyways we'll figure it out I still have some stale cake from my bday hahhahah**** Must laugh to keep from crying.... LOL
SOOOOOOOO (On top of needing to ACTUALLY remember I have a fiance and need to spend some time with him)
I'd start monday but I already have interviews scheduled for that day to try and find us an assistant for shows as Malvir is trying to train a replacement so he can work full time. (If he can get a job he has been putting in applications every day)

TLDR Here is the breakdown we have 30 days to come up with:
770.00 for our booth at Bronycon (which pretty much helps us keep the business going)
1480 for rent
100 for credit card 1
100 for credit card 2AND who needs food anyways we'll figure it out I still have some stale cake from my bday hahhahah**** Must laugh to keep from crying.... LOL
SOOOOOOOO (On top of needing to ACTUALLY remember I have a fiance and need to spend some time with him)
I am going to try and livestream a little starting at 7 or 8 tonight keep an eye out for my journal.
Then I will be livestreaming starting Tuesday at 7 pm and need to raise money fast! I'd start monday but I already have interviews scheduled for that day to try and find us an assistant for shows as Malvir is trying to train a replacement so he can work full time. (If he can get a job he has been putting in applications every day)
c2e2 awful update, bday this weekend, and livestream info
Posted 8 years agoHello everyone,
C2E2 was a complete and utter failure this year. We are now in the hole and I can't pay my bills. To start off the weekend, we had someone we were training to be a permanent shottsy arts assistant (will get back to that later).
To start off we arrived, and I had been in contact for at least a week or so, after they 100% confirmed, with this other artist couple that had committed to be our room shares. I even got a 50.00 deposit from them to know they are serious. It is not usually my practice to call people out but please if you ever have bought art from an artist named "Magister" who is an anime couple that mainly just draws huge boobs, don't support them. They are awful people.
So after we drove seven hours from ohio with our new trainee I had spoken to the girl and informed her we would have to go straight to the convention for setup and it may take a while. She tried to tell me we wouldn't be able to unload, and I informed her she was mistaken and that we were fine, but thank you. (I should have realized she was lying in hopes that I'd do what SHE wanted. Again more about that in a moment.) So we told them to maybe meet us at the convention, and we can all meetup and we will do our best to setup and then all head to the hotel together. She gets there and informs us that she is tired and just wants to go to the hotel. The hotel was not in walking distance and we'd have to take an uber to get there. I told her that we needed to get set up and then we'd be happy to go. She asks us if we could use any help. We thought this was very kind, so my fiance' Malvir tells her sure! That can help us get done faster, and proceeds to give her a simple task. She cuts him off and goes, " I think my boyfriend and i are going to go look around first and then we will be back." Malvir gives me a look of confusion, but we shrug and keep setting up. She comes back and asks me if I can stop what I'm doing and go with them to the hotel now. I tell her, "I'm sorry but no, if I go I can't get back and will not pay for an uber twice and they need me. We are training and have to set up. I offered to transfer the hotel in her name, and then we'd meet them so they could at least get in since the hotel wouldn't let them get in without me there, even though I called them.
Magister says no and that she can't afford the whole hotel in her name even just for a hold.
She then says if we won't go with her she is thinking of booking something else. We ask if she can please just wait we are all vendors and we are doing our best to hurry we understand she is tired. She doesn't look convinced but her boyfriend tries to reason with her. He comes back to us saying she doesn't want to wait and is impatient. So I say, ok well can one of you find out if the union will still collect palettes tomorrow morning? If so we can just finish early tomorrow. We found out that the union would NOT be collecting them the next morning so we needed to empty all our bins we wanted out of the booth now. We ask if she can just give us a half hour more since we need to get our bins taken that night. She shrugs, and SO we began quickly emptying bins throwing around things that we had had organized, not setting it up just trying to empty things to be taken. She gets up and tells us she booked something else. I inform her that she is also a vendor and committed to the room and can't she see how hard we are busting our asses for HER so we can all go even though we need to finish setting up correctly? She didn't care and began to walk away. I informed her that we can't afford the hotel and I turned down three other people because she said she was rooming with us and we would get charged for the first night because it was less than 24 hours notice AND we would now somehow have to sleep in the van all weekend when we weren't prepared to do so. (No pillows, no blankets, the van seats were taken out, so it would have literally been a hard floor.) She didn't care.
SO we were at a loss I had never in my life experienced someone so awful and selfish. Thank god a couple fellow vendors heard our plight and for 200 more dollars we had some floor space.
Next morning our "Trainee" left us a note at the front desk of the hotel telling us that the job was "too intense" and she bailed before the weekend even got started. So it was once again just me and Malvir against the world. The crowd was busy, got lots of pictures and feedback about my art, but hardly anyone bought anything. Our hottest item which is our bags, only sold one all weekend. ONE. What mainly sold was our vintage toys, and we actually lost money. We had taken a loan from a friend for the booth so after we paid that back we literally have lost money and now have no money for rent or other bills, when we were expecting at least a 2k profit which would have covered this months bills.
My bday is also this weekend, and for ONCE I just wanted to have a good bday with no drama or disappointment. Supposed to be having a party. My father is going to be on vacation during my bday but he at least gave me a little money so I can provide a cake and some things for guests. Feeling sort of defeated, and I can't understand how there are some seriously horrible people out there. However, there are also some amazing and good people that came to our aid and at least helped us not suffer too badly.
We are going ot be doing a lot less shows this and next year. I just can't afford to keep going at the moment. I am going to be focusing on my new online store that is coming soon, and trying to get more art done. But this also comes with its own risks as our shows have been for the most part what has been paying our bills. Malvir is still trying to find another job since his real estate is slow to take off.
There are a few shows no matter what we can't lose or we won't be able to get back in for years to come such as dragoncon so I'm glad we have that locked down.
I will be playing catch up, and also livestreaming starting after my bday this weekend. Please keep your eyes out for times, and if you want to just donate anything (totally not expected or required) you can send anything to my paypal at shottsy85[at]gmail.com
Thank you all for anyone that has read all of this, and for just all being genuinely caring good people that help keep me drawing and keep me going.
I WILL be at Anthrocon at a small table this year and will be taking a couple live commissions as well.

Got sick not dead
Posted 8 years agoHey everyone! I have been really busy and then got sick. I have vertigo which makes the room spin. I should be back to myself by next week and will be trying to do some more livestreams to raise money for bills and my show. Miss you all!
Was also accepted to antheohio and anthrocon so if you can be sure to come see me.
Was also accepted to antheohio and anthrocon so if you can be sure to come see me.
Next Livestream will be on Monday at 7pm Eastern
Posted 8 years agoHad to cancel livestream for the rest of the week due to a backlog of other work I need to finish and also need to clean around the house. I will be resuming next Monday February 27th at 7PM Eastern!! until roughly Midnight! Unless sales are slow I will end early. I will only be doing Ferals or turning your anthro characters into ferals again aside from a TF sequence package. Info on pricing can be found HERE
Need more donations or my next update will be very slight and sad! Please help me reach my goal so I can insure that I will be able to afford my booth at Dragoncon this year! Vending at cons is my main business and if I can't afford my booths I can't continue! We have fallen on some hard times so my money earned from shows has gone to pay for our bills leaving nothing left whatsoever to keep us going. I need your help to keep us traveling and selling my work so I can crawl out of this hole! Plus you get to see more fun art from me! Information again below:
WHAT I AM FUNDRAISING FOR:
I have been accepted to all VERY big and amazing shows but they all cost a LOT for the booth space. This is not a hobby but my income and full time business! Please help me get to these shows!
The one I cannot sacrifice or I could be bumped back to the bottom stack of applicants lose my spot and maybe take years to get in again is Dragoncon. I need to raise 2100.00for my booth fee before March.
That doesn't include the 2 other shows each that I will each have to come up with another 1000 just for the booth space. Any funds we raise ABOVE our target goal will go toward the other shows. With rent and other bills I am also holding weekly livestreams as time allows in between my current shows, job, and business management. All your funds will help me out tremendously so I don't risk losing a space I worked for years to finally get. Without good shows and booths I don't have much income to pay bills or keep our business going.
My fiance' passed his real estate tests and is FINALLY getting some training but it may be a bit before we see anything from that but there is finally some light! I just need to magically with all of my art talent push through and hopefully with your help keep being able to chug along and meet, inspire, and see a lot of my longtime fans in person and sell our products and art!

Got called in for a temp job and Patreon Coming SOON
Posted 8 years agoI got called in temporarily to do some non art related work. Luckily its just at an office so I plan to work on things at the desk as long as it doesn't stop me from working.
On another note. I will be launching my patreon hopefully within the week! There will be a lot of amazing tiers with exclusive art, and rewards for those of my fans and supporters that wish to help support me to keep making art! You will also finally get to see some of what i've been working so hard on more frequently such as WIP of my graphic novel, chapters from my written novel, and even lots of unreleased Waffles art! I hope you guys will help me out so I can keep working! I know you all like commissions of your own characters, but I'm hoping you guys will enjoy getting to know some of my own better and reconnecting with some of my older ones!
I didn't want to launch it prematurely where it wouldn't be worth it so I guess that's why I am this late to the party. I know so many people have Patreons but I really wanted to have a good ammount of art to post, PLUS I wanted to make the page look professional and appealing for you all. If you want to get ready to follow it I can show you my WIP link!

Livestream INFO
Posted 9 years agoLivestream Special Info Below! Please familiarize yourself with my rules before commissioning. All art will be submitted to my gallery, and all patrons will receive a full rez full scale copy of their purchase.RULES:
-Livestream Commissions are done on a first come first serve basis, unless you have scheduled a specific time with me.
-I will be finishing your piece during the session so you MUST be there if you wish to purchase one of my special stream commissions.
-If for any reason you must step away during the stream once you have purchased a slot, please let me know you are stepping away and when you will be back, so I don't waste any time and can skip down to the next person in line.
-If you are not there when it is your turn and there is no one else to skip ahead to, I will be going ahead with your commission, and there will be NO tweaks or fixes, or edits unless you wish to pay an additional fee. My goal is to finish all commissioned art within a single session so each new stream starts new art and new pay. This is my job so I apologize if that sounds harsh, but time is money, and I need this to run smooth.
-When you ask for a slot in stream please send me only one note and include the following:
- What you are buying: Sketch, Linework, Flat, TF sequence?
- If TF sequence How many pages?
- Anthro or Feral Character?
-What is the Content? WG or regular?
If you are a returning client just have any new elements referenced for me if you want something to be specific like a prop or animal species.
- *** NEW CLIENTS:
1. have your 'sona or character references sent,
2. your email address you wish to use for me to send you your invoice. (If you have a different email from the one you pay on that you wish to receive your art at, send that as well. )
If your piece isn't finished during the session it will be completed at the beginning of the next session. (if it spills over into a second session you may work out with me a special time for me to stream when you can attend again, and you will be first priority in next stream you are at.) LIVESTREAM SPECIAL PRICES You may recommission any past project we have worked on to "update" or add. EXP: If you have commissioned a sketch, you can recommission me at a later date to finish the piece into flatwork. You will be discounted the price of what you have already paid for the sketch.NOTE: Livestream Special prices are cheaper than my off stream commissions. They are meant to be quicker and done within a session so expect your sketches to be looser and rougher. I don't do shading generally for livestream pieces, and the art will be more simplistic. Loose sketches-(Single Character Toony or Realistic)-[color=green]10.00(Additional Characters or props 5-10.00 extra depending)
EXAMPLE Cleaned refined sketches -15.00 to 20.00 (Additional characters or props will be extra fees depending. Discuss for quote)
EXAMPLELinework-(one character)25.00 - 30.00
EXAMPLE
[center]Flat Color-(one character)35.00
(25.00per extra character)EXAMPLE
Flat Color-REALISTIC(one character)50.00-65.00(35-45.00per extra character)EXAMPLE
TF sequence sketches-15.00per page. (Will do a 5 page spread: includes 4 pages of transformation and final "tada" final form sketch on page 5) for 50.00)EXAMPLE
TF sequence FLAT COLOR-50.00per page.**NOTE: Final "TADA" flat color single char pic at the end of the sequence is just 35.00 as other flats, if requested.EXAMPLE
****DISCLAIMER: If you don't have any references and want me to "make up the character (not in every case, up to my discretion) be prepared to pay a bit more than the people who already have characters and references. Also be prepared to pay a bit extra if you request something overly complicated and specific that I am not used to drawing with added elements, such as specific kinds of clothing, or weapons etc. Prices will be discussed prior to your invoice being sent out for approval. All commissions must be paid right then and there in the stream up front before your piece can be started. Please have all funds available for paypal payments ready so as not to hold up the flow of the stream and other patrons. If your piece is not finished within the stream it is commissioned you are first priority in the next stream to which you are available. Thanks all,
I look forward to seeing you all.

I'm not dead, but been dealing with a lot
Posted 9 years agoHey everyone,
Finally am home and thought I'd update you all on my life a little. I have been traveling for our business almost all year. Had some major breakthroughs as well as some huge setbacks.
Just when I thought I was finally hitting my stride as a lot of you know I had a major health issue. Sometimes I push myself too hard. I tend to work through my pain no matter what, but it got too bad. I thought I was just having back spasms, but upon going to the ER I found out I had pancreatitis, and a gall bladder that was half full of stones and was kicking them out into my other organs. They admitted me for a week, and had to remove my gall bladder. I pushed through and recovered as fast as I could, and went to dragoncon. Dragoncon was AMAZING for our business lots of great feedback but we pretty much broke even. I need and want to afford my booth again for next year, as well as other upcoming booths to keep our business growing but you always have to pay in advance and for vendors it can be upwards of a thousand plus for the booth alone not including the electric or travel costs.
We have grown enough to be in shows like that, but Malvir and I are only two people and the labor and travel has taken a tole on both of us financially and mentally. I got slammed with a ton of unexpected bills from living costs, to both of our cars dying and not being able to afford the parts for Malvir to fix them, to also getting slammed with more medical bills I wasn't expecting. My awesome dad is covering my medical bills, for now, but I already owe him so much... I am in a lot of debt, and feel like I am drowing. I also owe some backlog commissions which makes me feel completely awful. On top of that I need to produce new designs and new products to keep our business fresh and keep revenue coming in.
On top of that as you all know my really good friend and one of my childhood idols C. Martin Croker passed away which also left me feeling depressed for a few weeks. I'm trying to get back on track with everything...
Here are the things I have ACCOMPLISHED this year:
1.I published the first version of my fantasy novel "The Color of Fire" We still have at least 40 copies printed and for sale as well as bookmarks. If you'd like one they are 15.00 you can note or email me at sales[at]shottsyarts.com with your shipping info and email and I can invoice you to get one.
2. We got our new plush Unicones produced which are also for sale now at 35.00 each. (We have a limited test run, but need to be able to afford to basically get the other versions out of jail and get them they are all sitting in a warehouse until we can afford them)
3. I made a bunch of new wire sculptures including ones that can ride on your shoulders.
4. We have redone our entire display which now has amazing themes, and looks super professional.
5. We have almost sold out of our laptop bags with our pawsplay designs and have gotten loads of amazing feedback from customers about how much they love all of our original and creative items.
6. This is one of the biggest. I have heard from many of our customers how much our work inspires them, and we have given advice and encouragement to both young and old creatives to keep working and never give up, and connected on an artistic spiritual level.
Now for some things that are a bit hard to share. Yesterday I had one of the worst breakdowns and anxiety attacks I've ever had. We had just had this amazing weekend in NYC where everyone oohed and aahhed our products and talked to us and it was so amazing. Then I came back and was slammed with reality that we are drowning in debt and I was scared Id have to give it all up. The thought of no longer being able to create made me literally want to die. Then I thought of all of those amazing people I have spoken to and realized how much I'd be letting all of them down if I quit on my art.
If you are interested in any of our products you can find them at My website The unicones you can see here and I can just invoice you for them as they are not up on the site yet.
TLDL
I have been struggling a lot with time and finances and I am trying to get caught up and not give up on our business. I could use all of your help to keep it going.
I am going to be spending the next couple of weeks between working on editing my novel for the re-release and catching up on backlog commissions.
Then if you are wanting to know how you can help further to keep me creating and making things I will be doing a bit of livestreaming during the month of December, and I will also be working on finally starting a patreon. I will do some tutorials for Patreon, as well as sneak peaks of artwork for my novel and graphic novel as well as writing excerpts from the story and many other things. I miss you all.

Just got out of the hospital
Posted 9 years agoHey all, I wanted to write this great journal and update on my trip to Megaplex but instead I wound up in the hospital soon after my return. I thought I was just having terrible back pains in my upper back. I thought it was from overworking and not sitting right. I then realized even though it was hard to differentiate, that my stomach and back seemed to be hurting. I continued to work through the pain. Afterall I am way behind and have two more huge shows back to back, and need to get caught up on commissions. It wasn't until I had a terrible spasm and then vomited, that I decided to google my symptoms. I am so stubborn and such a high functioned that when I said that perhaps I should go to the hospital, Malvir was like, "really?" You seem fine you are walking around and everything. Neither of us wanted to take the time out to go. But I said, yea... I think I should. Turns out I had very acute pancreatitis which they at first weren't sure the cause of because I don't drink alcohol. This lead them to check my gall bladder which apparently was over half full of stones and kicking them out into my tubing. Soooooo I had to have my gall bladder removed and then be stuck in the hospital for four days and nights on an iv drip. I was so frustrated and worried about my work and upcoming show I actually asked if I could postpone my surgery to which they said no way. So now I'm playing catch up while trying to heal and function on pain meds. Just wanted to give you all an update. I WILL get caught up with everything as soon as I can. I am just freaking about bills and being able to complete my work and con prep while recovering. This couldn't have happened at a worse time, but at least I'm not dead and caught it early enough not to need a second surgery to fish stones out of all my other tubes and organs. The ones that got kicked luckily all passed. I'll be in touch and hopefully have some updates and new art and commissions uploaded and sent soon.
Right now it's just hard for me to get around or sit at my computer at all.

On the way to Megaplex
Posted 9 years agoHey everyone! I'm sorry I haven't been on! I'm still trying to complete some roll over commissions along with all lour convention prep! We have been traveling pretty much every month so I've had zero time to slow down or get caught up! Anyways for those of you going to the furry con in Orlando Megaplex I will be there selling stuff in the dealers den! I hope you will stop by and say hello! I'd also an willing to do some simple quick sketch commissions if you have a sketchbook or something you'd like me to draw in! I didn't pack my own as our van is overpacked as is. I'll also be working on some wire sculptures most likely! See you there!
